Frequently Asked Questions About Sunset Locksmiths

How much does Sunset Locksmiths charge for automotive key fobs compared to car dealerships in Adelaide?

Richard's pricing is dramatically lower than dealership rates. We know of a local case where a dealership quoted $1000 for two key fobs for a 2015 Commodore, and Sunset Locksmiths charged a third of that—around $330—and completed the job in roughly 20 minutes at the customer's location. For automotive key services across Adelaide, Richard consistently undercuts dealership pricing while delivering fast mobile service, making him a smart choice for key fob replacements and coding work.

Can Sunset Locksmiths fix poorly cut car keys from other locksmiths in Adelaide?

Absolutely. Richard has tackled remedial work where other locksmiths have botched the job. We've heard of a case where a car remote key was cut so poorly elsewhere that it wouldn't open the boot, and the customer was stuck with flimsy housing that wore down fast. Richard identified the cutting errors, fixed the issues, and provided two new remote keys with better housing than the originals—turning a frustrating situation into a quality outcome locals trust.

Does Sunset Locksmiths handle urgent residential lockouts on weekends in Adelaide?

Richard responds fast on weekends with no delays. A local resident called on a Saturday morning after misplacing house keys, and Richard drove straight around to assist with entry. His typical response time sits around ten to twenty minutes across Adelaide, even on weekends. Whether it's a Saturday lockout or a Sunday emergency, Richard treats urgent residential calls as priority jobs, getting people back inside their homes quickly without the weekend wait some locksmiths impose.

What kind of complex residential door lock problems has Sunset Locksmiths solved in Adelaide?

Richard handles tricky door issues beyond simple rekeying. He's diagnosed and repaired complex door lock faults involving multiple locks needing new barrels and keys, plus identified significant structural flaws in doors themselves—making temporary fixes to keep them lockable until full replacement. In one job, he sorted out a complex lock issue plus two additional doors within an hour. His approach combines locksmith skill with practical carpentry knowledge, solving problems other locksmiths might walk away from.
